Stalling problems

[Kenly]

i just got my bike a few days ago, its one from auto zone called terminator....but i rode it up and down my street off and on for a few hours the first day then the next day i strated it up rode it down the street a few times then decided to ride down some trails, and about 15 minits into the ride i hit the brakes to slow down and it stalled, it took me about 5 minits to get it started again and i took it home. ever since then to start it i have to have the choke fully on and hold the gas at full thorottle then when it starts i can ride as long as i dont slow down...whats the problem here...did i ruin the engine....could it be a bad gas mixture or sitting overnight does the mixture seperate??? i need help!!!!!!!

Sitting overnight doesnt hurt your gas. Sitting for a few weeks will. Sounds like you need to adjust the carb some and probably give your carb primer a few pumps before you start it.

i do prime it before i start it and like i said itll only start with the choke all the way down and the throttle fully opened then i have to hold it and turn the choke off then i can go but as soon as i let off it stalls....the thing is brand new and i dont think it should be acting this way....and how might i adjust the carb i have no idea about this stuff

Did you properly break in the engine? OR did u 100% throttle it on the first tank, that will mess up your engine.

Best bet is if you only got the bike a few day's ago take it back to the shop and tell them to fix it.

It could be sucking in air from somewhere. If you have to run it with the choke full on then that sounds like the problem.
You need to check the mounting screws for he carb and or take the carb off and put some form of sealant on the gaskets then re mount the carb.
Hope this helps.

sounds like 2 problems to me
1. Stalling, it could be your belt drive/clutch is not properly disengaging and fighting the motor causing it to stall

2. you have to start it with choke on, you could have some debris in your fuel, there is often bits of plastic in the tank of new bikes and it could have made it to the carb and gloged one of your jets. also check your spark plug, it is more then likely fouled and black

Well couple suggestions on this for you...

1.) Check the Carb. You said you went down a trail. Might have some dirt or something in the carb or in the air filter.
2.) Re-Adjust the Carb.
3.) Check your Fuel. Maybe you have Bad Gas or a Bad Mixture. (Suggest a Good Synthetic Marine 2 Stroke Oil. Like the Penzoil 2stroke marine.)
4.) Check your spark plug. Odds are you got a stock plug that SUX the big one. Get a good name brand plug. NGK, Champion etc....

the first tank i rode normally but the second tank is when i took it out and let it rip down the trail, i will try changing the spark plug and adjusting the carb even tho i have no idea what im doing but if i run into further problems i will probably be back looking for more help

Try what Rodney said.....maybe also turn the idle screw in abit to make the bike idle at a higher rpm. It could also be the carb needs to be tightend up....airleaking between carb and port opening.
